Is A Contraceptive Implant Flexible?
How flexible is the contraceptive implant? I have had it for a few months. I am physically active as I do cheerleading and sometimes my arm (where the implant it s) receives heavy force when catching people- could it be broken? Is there any possibility of checking?

Hello,
It is flexible and does not break usually.
You can feel the implant by fingers if there is any break it has to be removed and reinserted.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
